I purchased a Cricket Stylo 6.
Obviously its sim locked to cricket. There is no "Metro" or "T-mobile" unlock app.
Cricket requests a sim unlock code when a foreign sim is placed into it.
There are services online which unlock the sim via USB
Are there any tutorials online for how to do this?
It appears to require a firmware flash of somekind
any thoughts?

I've a Droid 2 Global purchased from a seller in US, which I'd like to use in India with a GSM SIM Card. It was used with Verizon Wireless and when I tried to use it, it requested for "SIM Network Unlock PIN". This sounded like the unlock code and I have entered the 8 digit unlock code he provided to me after contacting Verizon. But, when I enter the code to unlock the mobile, it says "Network Unlock Request unsuccessful" and prompts for "SIM Network Unlock PIN" again!
I've made sure the mode is GSM/UMTS (verified with Global also, though!) and tried with different GSM SIM cards. All those SIM cards work normally when used in other mobiles. I've tried contacting Verizon support 5 times, Motorola Support 2 times and my local GSM carrier support 3 times. It appears it was with Verizon. I've verified everytime that the IMEI of the phone and the Unlock code given to me match with the data they have! They wonder why this is not working, but they couldn't help.
I've tried installing custom ROMs too! The problem remains same! I've installed Radiocomm to see if I could try with the codes at "Subsidy Code" but it returns status as 00 (which means unlocked as per some other forums!!).
Can someone help me understand what exactly is going on with my D2G?
The unlock code for your device was changed at some point, or VZW's database information is invalid. It happens. In such cases the device is usually sent to VZW for a warranty claim (if you are a VZW customer).
Sadly, I am not a VZW customer. I live in India and planned to use it with my local GSM Carrier.
I've purchased unlock codes from some website too. They provided 2 codes which turned out to be useless. Is there a way we can bypass this from Radicomm?
No, there isn't.

The thread is closed now!
Is it possible to use other carrier SIM cards with an unlocked D850? I am currently traveling and don't want to pay the usury ATT rates on international data and voice. Bought a SIM from a local carrier but am getting asked for SIM network unlock code. I am assuming that until the bootloader is unlocked there is nothing that can be done about this.
Bootloader lock has nothing to do with sim lock or network lock. In order to sim unlock your device you could go ebay and search after lg g3 unlock code, follow the instructions provided and then you could use any sim, any network you want with your device.
Yup, unlocked for use on other networks and an unlocked bootloader are two completely separate things.
If you need an unlock code, I don't have personal experience, but I have friends who have reported success with imei-unlocker.com
I wanna know how i can do this and im not sure if its unlocking or not
I want to use this phone on straight talk but the phone is meant for Boost Mobile. Is there any way of making it so that I can make it work for straight talk?
Motorola MOTO G XT1031
What im really asking is Do i have to unlock the sim card or unlock the phone itself?
You have to unlock the phone.
You can ask Boost Mobile support for the unlock code. If you say you need it to be unlocked so that you can use a different carrier's sim when you travel outside the country, carriers usually give the code to you as long as you have owned the phone for more than six months. Otherwise, you can google for sites where you can buy the unlock code. Once you have the code, you have to follow instructions specific to your Motorola Moto G to enter it in. I googled and found this:
How to enter the unlock code:
1. Power on your phone with a non-accepted SIM card. A non-accepted SIM card is a SIM from another network provider, other than the network you originally bought your phone from.
2. Wait for your phone to read: “Enter unlock/ subsidy code” or “SIM Network Unlock PIN”.
3. Enter the unlock code
4. Your phone will read: “Unlock Successful”.
Once unlocked, you will be able to use any sim with this phone.
Also, this is not the same as unlocking your bootloader so do not get confused while Googling
i thought the unlock was applied to the Sim card?
No the unlock is applied to a phone.
For example, if you take this sim card and use it with any unlocked phone it will still work. So the sim is not locked, the phone is.

Hello,
I bought a Moto G cellphone in Chile. Now I came to Canada and I bought a prepaid SIM card at Bell. The phone's asking for a "SIM network unlock PIN" - the cellphone was unlocked for all companies in Chile. I thought it was unlocked for every place in the world.
What can I do?
bump! does anyone knows how to fix?
What is your system version? Does it has the "utdms" on the system name? I think if it has that, it is network unlocked. Otherwise its networked locked.
That sounds more like the SIM you bought is locked with a PIN. I think the message is different if the phone is locked to a particular carrier. How many digits is it asking for? A SIM PIN is 4 digits, while a typical unlock code is 8 digits.
that's exactly what it asks me... no particular number or nothing.... i don't know what to do about it, i want to be able to talk in my phone!
I have ZTE MF920W+ LTE Ufi modem, I had been trying to unlock it but all effort was futile, I tried all forums but haven't met anything similar at all. Without unlocking it, I'm unable to change from 4G, 3G nor Edge but all on automatic. I tried using the unlock code but realized it accepts 16 codes and not 12, a friend tried buying the code for me but none of the codes worked. Please help ASAP.

Hello, I am currently connected to the web using a AT&T ZTE MF923 that I bought brand new from Best Buy. The device was considered GoPhone which is a prepay. I did not ever activate the device with AT&T, I immediately requested the unlock code. The response I got was *we cannot provide you with the unlock code for this device because it has been flagged as fraudulent. I assumed that the reason this happened was that the device came in a box IMEI id printed next to the product barcode on the outside of the package for anyone to see. AT&T does not want people to but these things then unlock them without opening the package and then sell them online as "unlocked device." So I went to unlockbase.com and paid 5 dollars for them to send me a code. I paid right before bed and woke up and plugged the code in before I had to leave for work. Now my ZTE MF923 Hotspot device works on Project Fi with a Data-only Sim I had ordered from project fi.
How to unlock:
You cannot unlock the device it's self using it's touch screen interface. You must do 2 things to get unlocking to work.
1. You must have a working SIM card from another Carrier. You can't activate the SIM on this device AS you try to unlock. Ask a friend to borrow their SIM card. This device uses Micro SIM so I had to have a Nano-SIM to Micro-SIM adapter. As long as the SIM you insert is activated on a completely different carrier from the one the device is locked to (mine was ATT so I put my Project Fi phone-plan SIM into it). Insert your SIM.
2. Once you have inserted your sim you need to connect to a computer with a USB cable. Allow any drivers to install automatically.
3. Open your web browser and visit 192.168.1.1
When you plug in via USB it should kick you offline from whatever other internet you have set up. When you visit this page, this is the device setup page AND the router settings page. Once you access the HotSpot settings page WITH a SIM from a different carrier..... You get promoet to type in your unlock code. Mine unlocked on the first try and now works well!!!!!
ZTE unlock

Sorry for the delayed response.
To receive the unlock code for this device, I first tried requesting it dro. ATT and technically they were supposed to give it to me but they did not. There is some type of rule they have that states that if you buy a prepaid device for AT&T you must have the device in service for a minimum of 12 months before they will let you have an unlock code. But they're supposed to be a loophole in that if you never actually activated the device with AT&T, they're supposed to let you have the unlock code. However they did not. I actually purchased this device with the intention of unlocking it. I never did activate it......so
I went to one of those large carrier unlock websites who will sell you the code for about $5. This does work. There are quite a few of those companies out there who do that so I can't even remember who it was that I went through. just make sure that you research the company you're buying from and you'll have success.
I have successfully unlocked this device for unlock contact me my fb id
